About the Author

Jerry A. Fodor is Professor of Philosophy at Rutgers University.

Reviews

He is thoroughly at home in a dialectical setting, a paradigm of a bold and sporting contributor. His book will undoubtedly be valuable to the science of the mental. It should also challenge general philosophers.
*James Cargile, Analysis Reviews*

It is a rare contemporary philosopher whom one looks forward to reading. Fodor is such an exception...long may Fodor enlighten and entertain us.
*John Collins, The Philosophers' Magazine*

Fodor, true to his creed, has brought out fresh dimensions of the "language of thought hypothesis" ... to build a cogent theory of the cognitive mind.
